As business use of the internet changes and grows rapidly, so too is the world of cybercrime. The Web has now become the medium of choice for cyber criminals with 99% of malware now delivered via the internet.

The threat to businesses is much more than just traditional viruses, and it’s not just big well-known businesses that are targeted. Small businesses are a prime target for cybercriminals, with at least 1 in 4 having already experienced a security breach.

Whilst the majority of small businesses (77%) recognize that a security breach could have a significant impact on their business, too many small businesses are leaving themselves wide open to attack – 1 in 5 single businesses and startups do not have any security solutions in place!

Can you afford to be one of the statistics?

The potential impact of a cyber attack on a small business is huge. Of those businesses that have been attacked, over half have suffered lost productivity, one in four have lost revenue & incurred a direct financial cost and one in five has suffered a damaged reputation as a result.

Leaving your business security to chance is not an option. Investing a small amount of time and effort up front, to secure your business, can save you time, revenue and your reputation in the long run.

Small business security is not a necessary evil; it’s business critical!
